A Record For Firefox 3?

A Record For Firefox 3?

As long as Firefox 3 Release Candidate 2 (RC2), its new beta, is well-received, Mozilla is hoping to release its updated Firefox 3 browser to the world somewhere around the middle of June. That’s old news. What’s straight out of the box is the fact that they’re hoping it will create a world record for the number of downloads of an application in a single day possibly as many as five million.

The fact that no such Guinness World Record currently exists has to stand in their favour, of course, but they anticipate a minimum of 1.6 million downloads, and are encouraging many more by getting fans to sign themselves up on the Spread Firefox site, add Firefox badges to sites and even host download parties – a sort of MoveOn.org of the open source world.

Release Candidate 1 did well and has now been superseded by RC2.

Want an M3 Max MacBook Pro? There’s a lengthy wait ahead

An Apple MacBook Pro 14 sits open on a table.

If you’ve been holding out for a super-powered MacBook Pro with a high-end M3 Pro or M3 Max chip, you could have a lengthy wait on your hands. That’s because, despite Apple’s plans to launch new Macs later this year, several are reportedly going to miss the cut.

That’s according to journalist Mark Gurman, who claims in a new report that Apple’s flagship 16-inch and 14-inch MacBook Pro models are unlikely to launch until the middle of 2024. Worse, the M3 Mac mini might not see the light of day until late 2024 at the earliest.
